The first step is to define the type of initial activity that is to be created for the application. Options are available to create projects for Phone and Tablet, Wear OS, TV, Android Audio or Android Things. A range of different activity types is available when developing Android applications, many of which will be covered extensively in later chapters. For the purposes of this example, however, simply select the Phone and Tablet option from the Templates panel followed by the option to create an Empty Activity. The Empty Activity option creates a template user interface consisting of a single TextView object.
